The debate is not about which companies that allow PPC. They all do. The debate is if Ebay will allow you to send them PPC traffic using the keyword "Ebay". I'm just using that as an example for illustrative purposes.

Here is a fine example of a company that is protecting itself in a reasonable way that a lot of affiliates here are seeing fit to exploit. Quoted from Ebay Affiliate Program TOS.
